Welcome @rubengardiner1992,
Nice updates there. And really nice character you worked on. Congrats!
No specific order needed actually for the first part (or at least I'm not doing in order).
I hope you enjoy the terms!
Cheers,
Thank you! I finally cleaned that up. Meanwhile started 3 more ..I have a habit of taking too long to finish a piece, then I lose interest in it and just start something else. I found 8 from recently i started and abandoned, that are decent enough to not delete, but not finished. There’s also been a number of drawings I felt I “outgrew” - became better before I finished them, and it would be easier to start from scratch than fix them. Anyone else thinking that?in24.4k
Lady Death Fanart Collectible: Part 6 Polypaint and base Hi, it’s time to share with you another part of the process to create this fanart piece. Polypaint As this is my first collectible fanart I didn’t have previous experience with polypaint so I tried my best and played a bit with it.I wanted to give a ghostly and eerie look to Lady Death, she is beautiful and deadly, but at the end of the day she is a woman that died and was reborn at hell as an avenging spirit, that’s why I gave her skin tone a bluish very cold tone.As you will see I gave myself some creative freedom to deviate from the traditional color scheme that this characater has in comics and illustrations.To add a bit of sensuality by painting some freckles on the face and the chest. The dark nature of this character was the perfect excuse to gave her a kind of goth make up, very dark shadows around the eyes, blue lips and fingernails. I know that the original character includes sexy red lips but I wanted this girl to have a sexy but at the same time creepy look, that’s why we can see some thin veins emanating from her eyes. The biggest chromatic change I did for this character is at the hair. Lady Death has a characteristic white weavy hair but in my fanart I decided to gave her a very saturated blue color.The reason behind this wasn’t only an aesthetic choice. I want that the face area strongly pulls the attention of the viewer so this area needed a stronger contrast. Another reason is that I want her to have a more modern look, as I mentioned before, I’m strongly attracted to women with goth/punk look. I gave myself half an hour or more to analyse the work of experienced sculptors that create collectibles and I discovered that the use of darker values on the skin is often applied to create a greater sense of volume and three-dimensionality. I found that areas with heavy ambient occlusion are the perfect places to paint with darker colors in order to increase the separation between different forms. Even though she has a bluish skin tone, I used a bit of warmer hues in areas that, in real life, tend to go towards red and pink, this is very obvious in the nose, cheeks, and knuckles. Thinking with a logical mind it’s completely absurd to have warmer tones on the body of a zombie like creature but I didn’t want to limit myself by using only blue tones, it looks boring and artificial. In real life these colors are created by blood vessels in areas where the skin is very thin. ** Scythe **for her weapon I applied a cool gray with some warmer variations, this color scheme is influenced by the work of H.R giger. Base I’d like to talk about the design for the base which, to be honest, I forgot to develop along with the character.My main idea with the base is to show that Lady Death inhabits a very sterile and arid land, at the end of the day she is at hell.You can see a that she walks over dirt and rocks, a sign that she’s surrounded by death and loneliness. As part of the landscape we can see some bones and skulls to reinforce the idea of lack of living creatures, yet we can see three hands that try to reach her legs.This hands represent that all creatures are subordinated to her power and seek an evil blessing with a simple touch of the princess of the damned.1- The hand with skin burns represents the souls of those who are newcomers to hell, tortured souls that suffer for the sins comitted on earth.2- The hand with greenish rotten skin and pustules is the reminder of the decay that has infected the souls of those who have been trapped and have forgotten their humanity3- Last but not least, the hand of a demon shows that even dark creatures and entities bow before her presence. The cherry on the top, at least in my vision, are the simese twins that emerge from the ground, this malevolent creatures remind us that in hell there’s only perversion and any trace of innocence is lost. Thanks for reading till this pointI’m really happy to be very close to finish this creative journey, last but not least it’s mandatory to talk about splitting the sculpture in several pieces to be printed, this will be my last entry before showing the final rendered images.

But nothing is discouraging enough to make me quit drawing. I think the strategy of drawing a lot of stuff and waiting a while to post is good though rather than posting it immediately and then feeling that sadness on the next set of drawingin

Thank you @daceronine! If I remember I save in google cloud, I will have to stick a note to do it more often. Lamp is from life. Poses are from refs but I look at refs for a while and then try to do it myself and look it up if needed. Outfits and rest is from imagination Something went wrong while installing system so we will have to wipe everything again... pc works but something is wrong. We will wait till internet is done and I will save everything on cloud this time Threads came out in eu. It's been 3 days and I had more engagement than after half a year on instagram. It feels really nice I hope it stays this way A portrait of old dude. It's the same character I posted a while ago. Inspired by Bayard Wu work. At first I thought of him as a bear but I named him Fenrir and I think wolf suits him better. Eye gave me a bit of hard time but I think it is fine now. I focused on face and forgot about area below. The way I draw hair clashes with greying hair. I had the same problem while doing Lohse's white hair. Does it looks like it is greying here? I love how desaturated red looks blue there. I keep lying to myself that I will use different color scheme but It all comes down to this blue and yellowish one it is just flipped this time Have a great day!in48.8k
Thanks for the warm welcome, and ill just carry on doing any order then.
Heyho Ruben!
Welcome on board! I really like that character you designed, great work!
Definetly keep us updated on your work!
Best,
Mau
So today I worked on finding the horizon line in general images i have found using google maps. I found it harder than i thought I thought it was going to be, but i will continue practicing this throughout the week thr 
Then I moved onto creating block shapes using bone point perspective. I didnt want to just do simple blocks so i figured i added some intricate rounded edges to some of the shapes.
For my last assignment in the Perspective lesson I made a medieval aged house using 2 point perspective. I found the roof especially tricky to get the right angle. I also didn't do a great job of the painting as I accidentally painted on the same layer as my line layer (it was too late to undo when i realized about the mistake 
)
Hey buddy!
I took the liberty of tracing a few lines and correcting a few things I saw as problematic with your drawing.
For the size of this drawing, your vanishing points are extremely close. This means that the topmost part (the roof) is outside of the zone where perspective lines would meet at a 90deg angle. This makes the distortion extremely awkward and hard to manage because as you draw the construction boxes, they won't look "right". I created a few construction lines on the roof and the roof you drew does not add up to the vanishing points you set.
Second of all, once you've got boxes in place (such as the main body of the building), create diagonals to find the center of these boxes. This allows you to find the middle and space out details with great accuracy. An example of this (in orange) are the windows you placed, and that center beam, which does not line up with the true center of the box.
Hope it's not too much to handle! I recommend trying another building with either vanishing points that are further apart, or simply shorter as to remain within that 90deg. magic zone.
Cheers!
Thank you soo much for the help, i was finding the roof extremely weird and never knew exactly how i should go on about doing it. Im going to retry this picture with your suggestions and post it, once again thank you for this.
Today I have been started working on my anatomy work. For the first assignment i traced the basic construction lines. Im still unsure where the joints are specifically fore the pelvis expecially at an angle that is to the side. 
14 days later
I had to take a bit of a break as I were moving house this week but I am now back to my anatomy studies with tracing cylinders on references 
Today is going to be my last day of Term 1 exercises. I decided to do a 2 point perspective exercise today and later on going to do some gesture drawing. 
Just started Term 2 and really excited to the lessons to come, My first assignment in this Term was to make a Logo. I decided to make a video game logo for a generic fantasy style game. 
I have been working a lot on my 3 point perspective work, I first worked on standard blocks without rotations to get a hang of the extra 3rd perspective and when i was confident i moved on to rotating the blocks by doing the right angle trick that was tuaght in the perspective lesson.
Following up on my 3 point perspective block study I started working on a simple four point perspective drawing. Let me know if anything can be improved upon. Thanks in advance
